Thomas Fitzpatrick (1799 – 7 February 1854), known as "Broken Hand" (reportedly because his left hand had been mangled in a firearms accident), was a famous "mountain man", "friend of the Indians", trailblazer and trapper with the Rocky Mountain Fur Company. With Jedediah Smith, he led a trapper band that discovered South Pass, Wyoming; however, before that Robert Stuart led the first known white party through the South Pass.
